Brilliant and sold our performances of Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Season’s Greetings’ December 2023, it was great to be performing at the Courthouse again!

Otley Players were invited back for a second year to write and perform a play as part of the Otley Courthouse’s Heritage Open Day, cue ‘Our Own Kind’ a completely alternative history of how the world famouse Wharfedale Printing Press came into being.

Otley Players brought two more of Bennett’s brilliant monologues to the Courthouse in July, directed by David Dodd and performed by John Ealdon and Clare Smith.

Superb performances by David Dodd and Lynn Alexander, showing the breadth of talent in Otley.
